متن کاملCytomegalovirus ventriculoencephalitis in a peripheral blood stem cell transplant recipient.
Cytomegalovirus encephalitis occurs rarely in transplant recipients. We describe a patient with cytomegalovirus ventriculoencephalitis who had a very high CSF viral load but a low peripheral blood viral load. No resistance mutations were present in cerebrospinal fluid viral DNA, whereas DNA from blood showed a resistance mutation in the UL54 gene but not in the UL97 gene. Viral replication was ...

Cutaneous leishmaniasis may present as unusual manifestations in renal transplant patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy. This misleading presentation, may delay the diagnosis and treatment. Moreover special caution must be taken in renal transplant recipients because of possible interactions between antimony compounds and cyclosporine metabolites. We report a 45-year old man with 5 years...
متن کاملGanciclovir-resistant cytomegalovirus disease in heart transplant recipients: the dilemma of donor-positive/recipient-negative serostatus.
In the early days of heart transplantation, cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease was frequent and often severe. The development of strategies to prevent CMV disease has had a major beneficial effect [1, 2], but problems still remain. Traditionally, patients with donor-seropositive (D+)/recip-ient-seronegative (RϪ) status have had the highest risk of high viral loads, tissue-invasive disease, and ganci...
متن کاملSuccessful treatment for active cytomegalovirus infection by cytomegalovirus antibody-enriched immunoglobulin in a renal transplant recipient.
Active cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection was treated successfully by only CMV antibody-enriched immunoglobulin (CMV-IG) in a renal transplant recipient. CMV-IG was injected at 86 mg/kg i.v. twice a day for a total of 16 days (4 plus 12 days, interrupted by a pause of 4 days), followed by weekly i.v. injection of 86 mg/kg (7 weeks). Active CMV infection was diagnosed on the basis of DNAemia in pla...
